Carlos Prates sets UFC records with historic knockout pace in eight-fight run

Carlos Prates has set multiple UFC records during his remarkable eight-fight promotional run. He reached seven knockout victories faster than anyone in UFC history, accomplishing the feat in just eight fights, surpassing heavyweights Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez who needed nine. Prates also recorded 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds, the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes in UFC history. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses in eight fights, nearly twice as fast as the average fighter who typically needs 15 bouts to reach seven bonuses. Prates knocked out two former UFC champions in succession, both of whom had never been knocked out before. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry and Prates, followed by Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would surpass Jon Jones' legacy.
